PART A: which statement best describes how the bankers actions develop the theme of the story “the bet”

English
1 answer:
never [62]3 years ago
5 0

Part A: A: the bankers hasty thoughtless actions lead to trouble and despair for him.

Part B: B: “desperate gambling on the stock exchange, wild speculation and the excitability which he could not get over even in advancing years, had by degrees led to the decline of his fortune and the proud, fearless, self-confident millionaire has become a banker of middling rank, trembling at every rise and fall in his investments”

In Part A, A is the correct answer because the banker is constantly taking making quick decisions with his money. We see this in the supporting evidence of option B. It describes his gambling as desperate and him making decisions based on "wild speculation". We see the despair further on in the story when it says, "When he got home he lay on his bed, but his tears and emotion kept him for hours from sleeping.”

This argument illustrates the slippery slope fallacy as Leo Panchello was used to create a happy picture of how much hard work local business owners put in and then goes on to tell how the light rail would destroy the local business and ruin all of their hard work which brings a sad ending.

<h3>What is a fallacy?</h3>

This is known as a mistaken belief, a faulty or failed reasoning especially one based on unsound argument.

Hence, the fallacy makes the argument weak because there's no indication that a light rail would destroy a main local business in the town as when constructing a light rail, they do not tear up the street, instead, they make the light rail a part of the street

A slippery slope fallacy is a course of action that is rejected because there is little or no evidence that one insists to lead to a chain reaction resulting in an undesirable end.
